Aegon Asset Management has appointed Anne Scott to the newly created role of global climate solutions lead.
She joins the firm’s global fixed income team to promote its climate transition approach and help ensure the consistency and delivery of its climate research process.
She will also support the practical product level issues that embedding climate solutions require.
She joined Aegon AM in 2005 to establish and has had a variety of roles including leading its middle office delivery teams as well as providing business development support to the CEO.
In 2012, she joined the investment department with a focus on developing front office oversight and relationship management with key counterparties, and five years later, was in charge of the MiFiD II structure to evaluate Aegon’s investment research consumption.
She has also co-chaired the asset manager’s global investment management risk control committee. Before arriving at Aegon, Scott held roles at Financial Times Information and HSBC Global Fund Services.
Scott will report into Adrian Hull, global head of core fixed income, and will be based in the company’s Edinburgh office.
“Anne brings deep experience of implementing regulatory change and adaptation across the business and is a strong advocate for climate solutions with real-world impact<” said Hull.
He added, “Her appointment as global climate solutions lead allows us to accelerate our expertise in climate transition investing as we continue to adapt for the future.”
